Satisfied Patients

Dr. Distefano is fantastic!! One week after hip replacement surgery I was ready to go dancing! He is my hero. The staff was wonderful, they helped me with all of my insurance issues, as well as setting up all of my procedures prior to surgery. Lisa and Maureen were especially helpful.

Dr. Distefano communicates clearly and effectively. He sets reasonable expectations, and does a fantastic job explaining the facts in plain language. I had a severe knee injury, and Dr. Distefano repaired me flawlessly. A year out from my surgery and I'm skiing again. THANK YOU, DOC!

Dr Distefano is One in a million. He responded to me in an emergency on a holiday without any hesitation and performed a miracle when he operatesd on my shattered elbow and gave me my life back. I cannot rave enough about what a talented physician he is.
